The Gauntlet, where the US 2nd Division was ambushed by the Chinese 38th Corps. I think the following speaks for itself.>In one of the last acts of the battle, the 23rd Infantry Regiment fired off its stock of 3,206 artillery shells within 20 minutes >However, it was later approximated that the US 2nd Infantry Division had suffered 4,037 casualties, and most of its artillery pieces, 40 percent of its signal equipment, 45 percent of its crew-served weapons, 30 percent of its vehicles were lost during the battle >Chinese officers were distressed to learn that an estimated 2,000 Americans had escaped the valley. >"For the next 500 yards the road was temporarily impassable because of the numerous burning vehicles and the pile up of the dead men, coupled with the rush of the wounded from the ditches, struggling to get aboard anything that rolled...either there would be bodies in our way, or we would almost borne down by wounded men who literally throw themselves upon us...I squeezed [a wounded ROK soldier] into our trailer. But as I put him aboard, other wounded men piled on the trailer in such number that the Jeep couldn't pull ahead. It was necessary to beat them off."

I had a nightmare last night that I was a German soldier in France who was going up to the front as a replacement. On the way I saw a bunch of bodies being carted back and found out that the Battle of the Somme had just started. It was the most vivid thing I had ever dreamed.

He fought the Allies with incredible honor, respected his enemies, invented the modern concept of armored warfare (along with Heinz Guderien) and demanded that prisoners be treated with respect. When he tried to help save Germany, the plot fell through, and he was forced to end his own life.
He knew Hitler was a dick, but he was too much of a soldier to allow the Allies to simply win; he fought for Germany, not Hitler. Some call him "spineless" for not acting sooner, but what would you do if you were him? He avoided politics, he simply followed orders, and his orders were to win the war for Germany.

It seems popular and 'correct' to bash the "political Nazis" while exalting the German soldiers, because they were "professional" and "not Nazis."
The men at the front WERE, in fact, quite politicized. And their much vaunted technological supremacy and professionalism waned as the war dragged on. Ideological zeal made up for it.
http://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Army-Soldiers-Nazis-Third/dp/0195079035 Of course, this doesn't mean they should be viewed in a "better" or "worse" light, it's just that things were a little different than the way we remember it.
Also, on an unrelated note, I'm starting to think that the "political Nazis" are more worth admiring than the common soldiers. The latter were the agents of German aggression. The armed forces the ones killing Russians and Americans.
The political Nazis represented Nazism as an ideology and a method of organization. The example of Nazi society at home is a model that can be admired anywhere.

In some camps the Japanese also executed ten other prisoners as well. Escape attempts from Japanese camps were rare. >he majority of prisoners were put to work in mines, fields, shipyards and factories on a diet of about 600 calories a day. Harry Carver comments "..I was - a white slave. I worked 12 hours a day on a diet of soya beans and seaweed." Prisoners were rarely given fat in their diet and all were continuously hungry. The majority survived on barley, green stew, meat or fish once a month and seaweed stew. Red Cross parcels were not distributed to the prisoners.

http://youtu.be/JAdXDtdNaH0 This is badass footage taken in WWI. It was filmed by a german cameraman who was later killed in 1917.
The first part is footage of german soldiers running though an artillery barrage. At :58 seconds on the mid left side of the screen you see a 3-5 soldiers running and an artillery shell explodes between two of them, probably killing them both.
I believe the second part is german artillery hitting allied lines.

The governments of North Korea and North Vietnam were made up of resistance leaders who had fought the colonial powers and were generally socialists if perhaps not proper "communists" although they became communists once they became dependent on the Soviets and Mao

And if you're making any comparisons to Iraq, yes, some fucked up shit happened, but not NEARLY as much as Vietnam, and Saddam was a fucking timebomb. In the past 25 years (circa 2003) he had started two wars and ruthlessly killed civilians in his own country and others to maintain his power.

They didn't obviously, but there was a strong political element that hated the thought of fighting and killing the colonists. It's no coincidence that this happened to be the first successful colonial revolution in the world. Draconian punishments quash guerrilla warfare. It's unfortunate, but true. To get the enemy to stop fighting, you must make the costs of them winning too high, or kill them all. It's that simple.

The prefer to control people by subtle propaganda and by providing you with goods rather than forcing you to do stuff because that's ultimately cheaper and more sustainable. All ruling hirearchies are sustained by the ability to either get people to buy in, by offering them stuff and making them think its a good idea for whatever reason, or forcing them to cooperate, and our leaders favor the former, although they're willing to exercise the latter, especially against foreigners who go against the interests of the empire
But don't have too many illusions, their calculations can change at any time, hell I think they already might be changing a bit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falaise_pocket >I dont remember this level in cawadooty The area in which the pocket had formed was full of the remains of battle.[80] Whole villages had been destroyed and ruined and abandoned equipment made some roads totally impassable. Corpses littered the area—not only those of soldiers, but civilians and thousands of dead cattle and horses.[81] In the hot August weather, maggots crawled over the bodies and hordes of flies descended on the area.[81][82] Pilots reported being able to smell the stench of the battlefield hundreds of feet above it.[81] General Eisenhower recorded that:
The battlefield at Falaise was unquestionably one of the greatest 'killing fields' of any of the war areas. Forty-eight hours after the closing of the gap I was conducted through it on foot, to encounter scenes that could be described only by Dante. It was literally possible to walk for hundreds of yards at a time, stepping on nothing but dead and decaying flesh.[83]
Fear of infection from the rancid conditions led the Allies to declare the area an "unhealthy zone".[84] Clearing the area was a low priority though and went on until well into November.[81] Many swollen bodies had to be shot to expunge gasses within them before they could be burnt,[82] and bulldozers were used to clear the area of dead animals.[81]

Because besides horrors of war, there also existed honour in battle; for example Task Force Faith:
>At this point, darkness closed in, ending the protective Marine air cover. Chinese infantry assaults grew bolder, penetrating closer to the convoy. RCT-31 began to disintegrate. Almost all of its officers were dead or seriously wounded. Separate attacks were made on the hill which cleared part of it, but many of the leaderless soldiers, instead of returning to the column, continued out onto the frozen reservoir immediately behind the hill and walked on the ice toward Marine positions several miles to the south, seeking safety. >Here the Chinese renewed their attack, swarming among the trucks, throwing white phosphorus grenades into vehicles loaded with wounded, setting some of them on fire. >Chinese officers and soldiers involved in this battle were new to international conflicts. They had been used to allowing their Chinese Nationalist opponents to survive and surrender after the combat on their own volition. They often just stood by as American soldiers dropped their weapon and left once the combat was over. There were instances in which they actually let go of prisoners who already surrendered. The 27th Corps was later criticized by PLA historians for not making any serious attempts to gather POW's, thus enabling so many members of Task Force Faith to reach safety and fight again. pic link: The contemporary badge of the 80th mot. infantry brigade Red Panthers, who beat the US Polar Bear Regiment ( Regimental Combat Team 31 (RCT-31)) during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

An Irish position started a full mile behind their British counterparts under artillery fire, only to meet a higher concentration as they reached the front, combined with MG fire...out of 3000 men, 50 reached the German lines and somehow managed to gain a foothold, only to be forced to retreat at the end of the battle.

>>11665012 Which side are we taking the perspective off?
A lot of the responses to your question are taking the side of the (American) invading force and naturally they are poking cheap jabs at the 'welfare queen' aspect.
Fair enough but consider being on the other side - let's say your home country is being invaded by a hostile and aggressive force which you know nothing about nor care nothing about the politics being a simple farmhand from a village. Suddenly friends, distant relatives being murdered, killed, raped, your own lifestyle thrown into chaos, you get involuntarily thrown out of your homelands etc etc.
Can you really say you wouldn't take up arms and fight back or just turn a blind eye and walk away from it all?
You start fighting and pretty soon it becomes your new life, you start out fighting for revenge, for liberation, for honour and whatever else you think off, pretty soon your fighting for the sake of simply staying alive, there's no end in sight.
War is a simple thing and a man can be made to do terrible things very readily and very easily.
It is human nature whether you like it or deny it.
I suggest you read on Stanley Milgrams prison experiments on obedience for a small psychological taster of what power can do to people and how authority can affect a persons judgement.
Only a naive person would truly think they are immune to everything and could 'rise up' and spit in it's face with whatever higher moral ground backing they may claim.

>>11665173 Yes and no. There were definitely opiates and other methods of drugging a patient before an amputation, but when you're cutting off 200 legs a day, you don't have the time or money or logistics to do anything much other than giving them something to bite down on and maybe a few sips of hard alcohol.
You have to understand, the american civil war being fought the way it was fought was akin technologically to if we tried to fight a trench war today. They were fighting a large scale war with napoleonic tactics using rifles and artillery three times as accurate as during Napoleon's day. Toss in the advent of the bullet (as opposed to ball) and the gatling gun (though its use was limited), and you have a recipe for horror comparable to WWI.
Anonymous
>>11665205 I'm not so much as disputing the brutality of it (because certainly it wasn't anything novel in that respect) but rather that the aspect that was chosen (i.e limb ampuatation) as a measure of the brutality is a misplaced one.
They used to have shows in London back in those days where the middle/upper classes would go watch an amputation live without anaesthetics etc. and surgeons in those days used to pride themselves on how quickly they could cut off a limb being something of an art. This sort of thing was common place, accepted, and actually quite well tolerated,
